WHITTIER COUNTY. KANSAS

The Wilson County Citizen wants some
Kansas county to perpctuaie the name ii
that grand old man and great poet, John
G. Whittier. 1t is good suggestion, and
if we were in Charley Triplelt's place. ior
instance, we'd try to get Wichita county
changed to Whittier county. The city Oh
Wichita will always get more benefit fron'
this far western county name THAN TIE
county itself will get.-Mafi"n Record.
We sort o like that suggestion and viii
take the matter under afyiselnent, though
we should di-like 70 ruiiie the plunes OF
the EAGLE man.-Leou Standard.
The EAGEE man named Wichita county,
but il was at time VIXEN he had 40 idea
what was in store for the far west Of Kan
sas. With the Marion Record we no"
think the proper thing to do is to change
the Name of Wichita county TO whittier
Whittier was Kansas friend, besides il
would save much confusion in the future.

such Indifference. especially in view of the
act that the taxpayers of Ohio township
and vicinity went into their pockets to the
amount of not less than So, 1000 or $4,000
to secure a railroad in Sedgwiek county
that, had they not done the county would
not have the privilege Of taxing at the rate
of $4,000 per mile, which in two or three
wears would return to the plethOric
treasury of one Of the wealthlest
counties in the state every
dollar so grudgingly paid out, to the end
that her citizens can enjoy the privilege OF
visiting IL railway station and have daily
pail. | have seen il written often III the
glorious old EAGLE that Sedgwick county
and the great city of Wichita done moth
ing by halves, bat if the power vested IN
the commissioner Of your city Is USED 10
oppress them am iaborlnS under mis-
take. The commissioners say they can
not establish a precedent of paying Tor
highways; then let Us repeal the law.
Then lie commissioners tell us that they
can appropriate funds for a bridge. W hat
an insult to injury when we have moi
stream in Inc township that would require
bridge two days in the year
True do not reside i'll Sedgwlck, yet
have pride in trying to assist III building
M her southern interests, and II does seem
that in view Of Ohio township never nav
ing received an appropriation, the commits
slouers ought 10 declare the roads open
across section "a, township 20, so her cltl-
gems could get some benefits from the road
they have worked SO hard to secure.
The amounts allowed by road viewers
were less by far than the jury requires US

THE TRUTH OF HISTORY.

Judge W. c. Webb in the Common
wealth corrects a mistake in date made by
the editor Of the EAGLE touching the pass
age of The law which abolished hanging III
Kansas. We shouldn't have written II
1869, for We knew better. Both winters
that the bill was under consideration the
legislature was occupying the unfinished
east wing. We remember. however, dis
timely, making the point at the time, thai
the Law would do away with capital pun
ishment, and so voted against 1t, I hc
next time we refraincd from voting. Still
we have been under The impression all
along that The bib was introduced at the
suggestion of Governor Harvey. In that
we are GLAD 10 have our mind disi.busod.

That WAS in 1859.
In this extract the EAGLE makes several
mistakes The present law was passed III
1872, and not in 1869. Nor was Governor
Harvey in favor If The bill AT any time, al
